Naruto was killed by a mob of villagers on his birthday. Read how his closest friends react to this and how will their lives be without the person that they keep seeing "Hope" in. And Naruto meeting his parent and asking a very important question "Did you love me?" A three-shot! Chapter three the friends are reunited! Character death(s), OOC-ness, Non-bashing Rookie 9. Inspired by three different songs for three different chapters, How Can I Not Love You?, If Everyone Cared, and When You're Gone.

Naruto and Hinata go on a mission together. Along the way, Naruto finds out about Hinata's "secret" crush and is out to find out who it is. Truly Naruto is a baka as time and time again he fails to reveal the truth to himself. Luckily, his friends are there to guide him to finding out Hinata's secret.

Naruto left Konoha years ago, and comes back years later. At first, people don't recognize him, which pleases, yet disgusts Naruto. But then, Neji and Hinata come along and recognize him immediately. They all soon find Naruto has become extremely strong, perhaps stronger than Sasuke himself. But what happened to Naruto while he was gone? And what is he so afraid of becoming? -This is a rewrite. If you previously read that one, please forget all about it. This will be a totally different story, and it would be awesome if you didn't mention the last one. Thanks!
